I have never seen this before. New machine so I set up IIS and SQL as normal. I can install 8.04 but any attempt to upgrade to advised next version fails with an Object cannot be null. An attempt to install 9.8 also fails but much earlier in the install process than the upgrades. At 34% clean and 68% upgrades. No logs so que pasa ? SQL express 2019 .Net on my machine says 4.5 but if I attempt to install 4.8 windows says already installed. It seems .Net 5 is avail - makes no difference. WAH ! Any insights would be very helpful Thanks Edit: installerlog stops after Dnn.PersonaBar.Extensions_09.08.00_Install.zip
This looks like it's some kind of hosting environment issue, but did you try the suggested upgrade path instead of a direct upgrade?

Hello Timo Thanks for your reply. Yes - tried the suggested UG routes. All fail in the same way. My environment is simply Win10 Pro - nothing special. It might be interesting that the Docs install method which I used would not work with www.dnndev.me - I had to use localhost. The only other varable is that I used Edge as the browser. Now I am wondering if Ghostery may be the issue blocking something. Also - when people talk about "unblocking" DNN files what on earth do they mean?
Unblocking: See here for example: What Causes the "File Downloaded from the Internet" Warning and How Can I Easily Remove It? (howtogeek.com)
Happy DNNing! Michael

To add a liitle: As the fail occurs with modules I am wondering if I remove all but base modules I might then install them manually in an effort to find the culprit? Now 100% on how to do this.
Not trying to go to 9.8 all in one go. Followed sequence you linked. 8.4 was a clean install. No problem Cannot install 9.8 clean - fails at 34% somewhere in modules. Cannot UG 8.4 insantce either All very strange. .net at 4.7.2
